[Verse 1: Benjamin Earl Turner] - Fuck it - You go, I go? - Nah I mean I go, you go - Same time since we did time at the same time It ain't all bad But if it bleeds it leads And I can't tell the difference between The cell block and a triage wing I got a finite amount Of fortitude in this fortress Battling the evil gorgeous Of a panopticon Seen but invisible Like the 13th Amendments tentacles Every night might could Be you verse' you in the Octagon I'm in crime school Trying to be truant How the f*ck you think We teach criminals How to be criminal Here in the fallen Gods Parthenon? I'ma be the paragon prisoner Dodge all the sinister Ms. Understood been My number one visitor And I ain't seen God since Mom brought the minister [Verse 2: Rafael Casal] All right, here I go I am bench-pressing hard time Round-robin family Visit full of fiction Smile, don't let them See your spirit flinching Giving the performance of a lifetime Everybody coming in Is leaving looking a bit more Like they are living in the same prison That we doing a bid in How the fuck do we pretend that We ain't split down the middle I'm a cocked pistol I'm a pot boiling over hot, hot They in here with us Locked in the cell block I'm extra baggage for My wife. I'm a bellhop Money on my books used To be for the nail shops Now every penny pinched [BOTH] Now I'm a dog in A cage they can watch age They can watch change Watch become strange Watch become something Prison sickness made A Frankenstein of the carceral state Whoo Each minute feels like ten [INMATES] Ten [TURNER] Every week is a month [INMATES] Month [TURNER] A thousand years in a second [INMATES] Second [TURNER] A life goes out in a snuff [ALL] I'm on your head I'm on your cell block I'm on your cell block I'm on your head, on your cell block We on your cell block We on your head [TURNER] - Hey, y'all got a camera? - Film this shit You know the kind of shit you Hear talking through a toilet? We once made liquor out of oranges Moonshine shedding light on our torment Wake up like reanimated corpses Keep a tally for all the times I considered slitting my wrists And letting the rivers run red As a Mississippi caucus. [YELLS] [CASAL] Don't know if my soul'll make it out Who I used to be is fading now This is an oven for Making monsters out of men And I can feel us baking now This is chain-ganging State-sanctioned Slave-trading, license plate making We numbers 240161 on my jumper Separated into colors Highly orchestrated To hate each other Looking back, what Happened isn't a wonder No wonder we... [TURNER] - Hey, now, hold tight, I'm friends with his wife [CASAL] - What's up? [INMATE] - He said he knows your wife, n*gga [CASAL] - Man, f*ck you! [TURNER] Each minute feels like ten [INMATES] Ten Every week is a month [INMATES] Month A thousand years in a second [INMATES] Second A life goes out in a snuff {LAUGHS} See, we made to be opposition Like Abrahamic religion Unholy cannibalism The secret cabal ain't secret at all [BOTH] The threat of a law reinforced By the force of these walls You can't be in hell and not embrace it [TURNER] Let me guess, they Think your chest vacant? Yup, hate it. It's Almost like these bars Become some form of Infinite separations [CASAL] Nah, nah, nah Now, hold the f*ck on This shit breaks a family I feel mine dissolving Who can love a man with One foot in the coffin? How can I compete when Freedom is an option? [BOTH] I'd do anything to be Back where we started [CASAL] I'd do anything to Be back where I started Right before I got Dragged out of my apartment [TURNER] Right before they Dragged me out the restaurant And closed the door on Futures that I said I wanted [BOTH] Now my life is haunted. {GRUNTS} [TURNER] Each minute feels like ten Every week is a month A thousand years in a second A life goes out in a snuff Each minute feels like ten Every weakness a crime A thousand years in a second [CASAL AND TURNER] Wish I could just Leave it all behind Behind Behind
